Gigi came back happy and calm, and seemed to get along great with Nicholas. Nicholas himself was patient, friendly, and seemed a pro in the art of dog walking. Gigi & I look forward to working with him again!

Nicholas is a responsible person. He's taken care of many pets and grew up with pets of his own. Nicholas had two dogs growing up that he took very good care of. He was a dog walker a few years back and everybody loved him especially the dogs.

If you're looking for a nice guy that will treat your dog like his own pets, then Nick is your guy. He has loved animals since he was a child and has never really lived without pets. He is caring and tedious (a bit much at times) and will ensure your dog is given the appropriate walking time/playtime. He'll give your dog the attention he or she deserves, and bring him or her home ...

Home full-time! Dogs love me!

I absolutely love dogs! I had one my entire childhood and was the main caregiver for our family dogs. Starting college and moving away from my pup was hard, but I was able to get a job as a dog walker in Manhattan and it was amazing. I've walked tiny chihuahuas and huge Italian mastiffs. I've played fetch with dogs in their senior years and puppies who are just learning to explore. I walked stoically ...

I absolutely love dogs! I had one my entire childhood and was the main caregiver for our family dogs. Starting college and moving away from my pup was hard, but I was able to get a job as a dog walker in Manhattan and it was amazing. I've walked tiny chihuahuas and huge Italian mastiffs. I've played fetch with dogs in their senior years and puppies who are just learning to explore. I walked stoically beside an equally stoic akita and acted super silly with a super silly and sweet bulldog. And I did not just walk dogs. I took care of them. I gave them medication if they needed it; the bulldog needed vaseline rubbed on his nose every day and the senior dog I walked would only let me give him his pills. I fed them, played with them inside if it was raining, and sometimes even washed them. I loved it so much and now that I have graduated I have time to start working with dogs again!

I will be available the entire day if you ever need me to swing by, and I am absolutely happy being contacted any time, even if there is no walk or sitting scheduled. Flexibility is one of my strong points. In fact I even helped some of my clients move and watched their akita and mastiff while the movers were there. In addition, I am extremely neat and clean (a little OCD some might say), so you can be sure your home will be even cleaner then you left it. I also have my own air mattress and sleeping bag so I wouldn't even need to use your nice furniture to sleep on!

And if you prefer that I sit your pup at my home, you can be sure they will be treated like royalty. I have one wonderful cat who loves to play for short bursts and then take catnaps on the couch. Your dog is more than welcome to join my kitty Benny on the couch, and I would love if they jumped in my bed at night. I live in a one decent sized one bedroom apartment so there is plenty of room for your pup to stretch out and relax. And if you are worried about Benny, he spends a lot of time under my bed, so if its needed there can be minimal to contact with my little guy.

I live close to several parks and am just a short bus ride from Prospect Park so you can be sure your little guy will get plenty of exercise! So whether you need a sitter to keep your furbaby company while you are away, you would like me to come grab your pup and bring him to my loving home, or drop in for a walk and some play time I am your man! I look forward to meeting you and spending some wonderful time with your pup!

What Nicholas would like to know about your dog

I absolutely love almost all dogs. Please no rottweilers or german shepherds (cujo kinda scared me). But besides that I am happy to take any breed, age, sex, and size. If your little guy has any special needs like medication or they need their food made a certain way, I would like to know that before hand. And of course your pups favorite games to play and how they like their walk to go!

When Nicholas watches your pet

Lots of walks, fetch (I can teach your pup how), trips to the dog park, some tasty BUT healthy treats, lots of belly rubs, some play time with my super laid back kitty Benny, a nice bath, a couch and bed to lay on. I have even successfully taught an old dog some new tricks (I learned how to train the dogs I walked very well. My clients favorite new trick was usually when I taught their little guy to stop pulling on the leash during walking time!
